Supermodel Cindy Crawford and her daughter, actress Kaia Gerber, are paying tribute to Ms. Crawford’s son, Presley Gerber, who died last month at age 27.

Ms. Crawford on Sunday posted a black-and-white photograph of her son on Instagram with the caption. “We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother. We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years.”

She said the family is grateful for an outpouring of support from friends and strangers alike.

“Til we meet again our sweet boy. We love you forever, Mom, Dad and Kaia,” her post concluded.

Ms. Gerber also posted on Instagram: “You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself. I came into this world with a white-knuckle grip around you. I had more love for you than I knew what to do with. And now that it has nowhere obvious to go, I’m certain it’s going to swallow me whole.”

Presley, son of Ms. Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died at a rehabilitation facility on Sept. 20. No official cause of death has been released, but he is presumed to have died of drug overdose and cardiac arrest.
